TRA NSrICTIO . [We have ExtraElea the following Anecdote from the last Number of THE QUART &REY REV lEW. a Work that is nor likely to hazard its Well.earried reputation upon light au • . r,ci v., well, indeed. , upon the present occasion, has given part of an authentic.document.] - To those patriot cwho. cry ‘.‘ peace, peace, where there is no peace," to those philanthropists whose benevolence extends to .the most distant objeets,— . while they have little charity for those at home, we b leave to relate the foll Owing most atroci4as, but not unparalleled. a6t of an accomplished 'French man of the new school of morality, which is this instant•come to our knowledge: - . At the recent capture of Zante by our arms, was taken prisoner a French Leuteuant-Colonel of the name of Pocris, .who is now in - Engla - nd, we sup pose, on his parole.' This person had been Gover-' of Cerigo, but was removed for malve2rsation in I . frs office. Aniong his papers were found, in his own writing, letters of an official nature 'to his. Ca..rain-General at Corfu, stating a transaction so . horrible as scarcely to be credited, on any testimony but that of the perpetrator. -About 600 Albanians, men, women, and children, had passed over from the, Continent to Cerigo, ,with a view of settling on that Island.. This caused some uneasiness to . Pocris, from' which he 'determined to • • relieve hiinself.in a manner that can only be described in his 'own words : " le ferai tout mon possible de rn'en debarrasser par•tous les mOyens en mon pouvo►r, persuade qu' inclepe►idemment;de mutes les metiances que ces gens- leur sOjour .e►i cette Isle pourraitm'occas►onncr quelque discussion avec *los Voisins de la Turquie Europeenne.," " I will exert all,my faculties is disembarrass myself of these people by every possible mode ►n my power, persuaded that, independent of the distrust which they create in my mind, the►r anode in this island is likely to produce some 'discussions with our neighbours of European Turkey." Having _taken his resolution, he describtv., in • his r.ext letter, the mode in which he carried it to effed; • • " le fus force de lour fiir empoisonner le eaux, qui causa la mort de plusieurs individus ; cet evenement funeste et im prevU les fit mettre a la voile." "I was under the necessity of rotsozv NO WELLS, which destroyed numbers of than ; this alarming and unex pected event obliged the remainder to Ay." Though we have sufficient proof that he is not the only Frenchman guilty of so horrible a criine, .we believe • he is the only person in existence who could relate it in so cool a manner. As a precedent for the as 'itself, Pocris had high auAhurity the conduet . of his imperial. master at Jaitt *could not escape him ; and the opportunity was too good to omit shearing himself a disciple worthy of so hu [nage a teacher. FEMALE FASHIONS FOR APRIL. EXTRACTED FROM " LA BELLE ASSEMBLES,'" FOR THE PRESENT MONT H. But little change has taken place in the style of dress since our last communications. The season is too tar advanced for variety, and it is as yet too early fur the introdudiOn of no velty. Much taste and fancy have, however, been displayed in the assortment of colours. " We noticed on a lady of high rank a dead le.r-toloured sarsnet mantle, made short, with a large hood thrown open, tied with riband; the cldak was lined with pink Persian, and ornamented at the edges with a satin Van dyke riband. The bonnet - to "correspond. On another a mantle of drab-colourcd velvet; lined with pink, and a plain satin riband round the -edge. And on a third, a mantle of green "sarsnet, lined With orange. On her head she wore a tur ban bonnet, composed of 'Olds Of orange and green sarsnet. Pelisses - begin to b.: worn short, in satin, trimmed with black lace. White chip hats are just introduced in the circles of fashion, and we have considerable reason to suppose, that as the Slicing advances they will entirely take place of the straw bonnets. We cannot say too much in praise of them, though it is scarcely necessary to. say any thing, as their delicate and ele gant simplicity will doubtless sufficiently recommend them. For dinner or afternoon dresses, stuff's, sarsnets,velvcts, rind cloths, continue to be worn, made just above the rise of ,the bosom, and laced up the back, which is of correspondent height with the front. Long sleeves, and quarter trains are universal. Bands for the waist, .with gem -clasps. In full or evenidg dress, the gowns are made with the utmost situ.. plicity, in the frock form. - White satin seems to have a de aided preerence, but figured sarsnets, embroidered crapes, gossamer nets, Imperial gauze, Spanish bombazeens with -black and white lace over white satin, all are seen on Ladies of the first distintlion. Sunday. se'nnight, a mcst melancholy accident .happened, near Saltram Lodge, near Plymouth.--As Mr. FREEMAN, a midshipman of his Majesty's ship - Scipion, 74, was, with a brother Officer, uriving on towards Ivy-bridge, in a gig, by careless driving, •they got entangled in , the fore-wheel of the Clarence - coaek, from Exeter, which precipitated. him diredly twat. the hind-wheel of the coach, and his compa nion into the road. Mr. FRIMMAN, unfortunately, was takeu up lifeless, the hind-wheel going over his breast ; and, though surgical assistance was im mediately procured, the vital spark was fled. His companioresaved his . life, though- much bruised in the. fall.- No .blame attaches to the coachman of • the Clarence coach on this sad business. The ver dia of the Coroner's Jury was—Accidental Death., We understand Mr. lIIEEMAN was of a respeaabl e Irish family, and heir to 1,5001 a-year. • His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has made a magnificent present to the University-of Oxford, through their Chancellor, Lord GRENVILLE. He has requested - the Noble Lord. to present to that Learned Body, in his name, the whole of the Papyri rescued out of the ruins of *Herculaneum, which were presented to him by the .King of. Sicily, toge ther with those which his Royal Highness has been the means of obtaining by his own exertions., toge ther with all the fruits of the labours employed in recovering the text. The Learned Body have ex pressed their rnost lively gratitude for this most gra cious mark of 'his attention.. And, we -have no doUbt, but.that the ingenuity and industry , of their best scholars will be employed in still *further bring ing to light the contents of the treasures they haire received.

This day the Court proceeded to the trial of Da niel Stewart, David Montgomery, and John Chain hers, accused of the murder of AlexandeeMcC6l - near Toome, county of Antrim, on the night of the 9th of November last. Peter Aiken, Esq. said he is Coroner, and was called on List November to-hold an inquest on the body of Alexander McCulloch, of Breckart, near Toome. He did so, and found the body so covered with wotinds that he could scarcely look on it,, being so shocking. Those wounds he has no doubt occa, sioned the death of McCulloch. . 'John O'Neil.s.aid he remembers the night of the 9th of November, which was that of the murder of Alexander ,McCullcdh. Three days.befere.it took place, Montgomery, Chambers, and Stewart called on him, and they then fixed the night of the rob bery. Those three said they had beeh ,looking - at the house that day, and that they could easily do it themselves, but as they had mentioned it to him, they wished him to be there; that they would.not bid him go to the inside, as the family knew, him, and he should have a full share of what was got. On,the.third night after this, th e p ar ty me t i n a moss near Toome, between eight and nine. at night. This was the night' fixed upon for the ,robbery. When at the moss, Montgomery proposed to go.to fame to ,buy spirits, and Turner gave. him a note to pay for them. He went, and when he returned brought some loaf bread. They remained in the mossier about half an hour, and then they, six in number, proceed e d towards M'Culloch's house. When they came_. to the foo. of his garden they per- . eeived lightin the house, by which they found the family had not,gone to their beds. They stopped three quarters of an hour longer, and then went to the back of the house, and as they saw no light, they believed the family had gone. to bed: . They then forced off one'of the back windows, which was n3adeoflead, and four Of them went into the hense; those, were Andrew Turner, (now under sentence of death in - Armagh jail for horse-stealing,) Daniel Stewart, David Montgomery, and Thomas Quin, (who has .not been taken). David Montgomery and Andrew Turner had bayonets with them. He, the witness, remained for some short time at -the back of the _house, and then went to the front. H e did not choose to go, in, became the family knew him; and he knew them. When he went round to a front window, he looked through, and perceived they had a light in the room, and observed Mont govnery and Turner engaged with McCulloch, who was on the floor in his shirt. They stabbed him once or twice with bayonets, and then M'Culloch's son rose and endeavoured to give battle to assist - his . father. Old M'Culloch being too powerful 'for Turner and Montgomery, and having forced. Mont gomery dgwn on his knees, Stewart, who . was its the house, came to their aid, and at last they over came McCulloch, and tied him with a cord. Cham. bers was then at the back of the house. Turner stabbed M'Culloch whilst on the floor, two or three times, and said, you old rogue tell where your mo ney is. During all this time, Quin stood at the room door and held the candle. Witness was so shocked at their proceedings that he went to the door and shook it, .and cried that a guard was - coming. He did this to endeavour to take them off the old man, Stewart then came to the door and told witness that lie was done for,, that be was ao more, they' h a d kill e d hi m . Thi s made him, the witness, shout out murder ! murder ! why did you kill him ? They then came away, and brought three bundles of clothes with them—Quin, Montgomery, and Turner carried them. They had been about three hours in the house. When they left it they returned to Toome, where 'witness left ,them and went home. They .went eking Toome bridge. Chambers and Stewart lived at Loran, near Castleda.wson, and Montgomery lived near Maghera.• Witness would take none of the property. Cross-examined.—Q. Yoa say you would not ,take any of the property, why would you not take it ?—Because I was afraid it might be found about me, and lead to a dcovery. Q. - 'What then did you go there for ?—lt was to get money. that I went, and. 1 did not think that when they went to rob, they would have murdered the man, and I was so shocked .at it when I went home, that my conscience would give rue no rest day or night. I never thought it would have fallen out Murder. Q. Now, Sir, you knew that they had - .bayonets and pistols, how then do you, say they did not foierid to:Murder him thought they only intended to fight if they were resisted. Q. Well, Sir,. did not that happen as you ex:pea ed ?—I did not expeti that they would have mur dered him, because they took'a cord with them for the purpose of tying him. Q. How did your conscience prevent you. f rom giving information concerning this which appeared so . shocking ? : —lt bore two ways '; it was shocking for me to speak of it, and I was afraid to do so. Why were you taken up ?—I was taken - up on a charge for horse-stealing, and I gave informa ,tion of this robbery the same night to Mr. Shiells,, of Castledawson. I did ,not at first give informa, tion against all of them, but only against Montgo mery, Chambers, Turner and. Quin., The 'reason why I did not 'then inform against Stewart was that he had once saved my life, in a riot at a fair, and also because he was the-person who prevented the house of McCulloch - from being burnt, when the others were, about to do it, ,after the murder. When I gave the information,,it .was not with any view of saving myself Yrotn . the charge of horse stealitig,...but only because of my conscience having been so shocked that I could not rest till I had done so. Alexander McCulloch said, he is son of the de ceased A. M'Culloch, of Breckart, and was in his, father's house on the night of the gth November last.. He went to bed before,his father, and thinks it was not ten o'clock. His father slept in anothet bed in the same room with witness and two of his brothers. He was soon awakened by theshOuis df his brothers, and 'when he started up, he saw his . fatper and a man struggling, and there was . another man had a light in the room. Ws father was in his shirt: Witness ran forward to assist his fat hti', but a third person knocked him down when within two yardS of-his father,-wino wail oh Abe torn. Ain drew Turner had a bayonet in his • hand. After witness was - knoCked down .he crept, - .under and one said damn him, tie hirn: - Heathen wenf to get out of the room, bUt one of them gave him a kick on the breast and forced him join the bed; and another man stood on his breast and forced:him to cover his head with the clothes. Oee of the men asked his .father for his money; but he AA not hear his father Speak ; another of them said, give -him another stab Or two. Heard ink father say,. " Gen tlemen, I will give it up, I cannot stand this arty longer." There was a desk in the morn with some silier in it, and a bladder, as a purse;'in which was some gold. They went . backward and -forward through the house. Both of his younger brothers were also stabbed: His father died beforeahe parry left the house.. It was a menth.befOre 'witness re covered.- He had received twenty-two woupds.— There were two windoWa taken off from the back of the house. The gang remained about DkO'hours iii the 'house'; witness's .father Was reputed to be a rich man. Thefinnily all kneW• O'Neil, the pre ceding witness. 7 .Several‘vitnesses.being.examined, who established the guilt of the prty, The Learned Judge addressed-the:Tr:try ; his Lor dship recapitulated the evidenCe of the different wit - tresses in a clear P ‘ lld Pers,picubut - manner, 'and:point -ed out the bearipos of the several parts pf it, 6bserv. ing upon it with considerable 'farce. After his 'Lordship had finished his charge, the Jury retired, and in a few Minutes .'returned 'a ver;. "diet, - finding the prisoners guilty, both of the mur der and btirglat:y. . After - the Jury had 'returned their 'verdict; 'his Lorriddp paesed kir a few mintues, hod then in a 'very soleinn and impressive manner addres'sed the prisbners toothe following effect : " David Montgomery, John 'Chambers, and Daniel Stewart, you . have been tried for thia mur der of Alexander -M'Culloch on the Night of the ethof November 'last, and also for a burglary in his dwelling-house. Of that burglary and of .that murder you have bben foUnd ; a murder the most 'barbatotis and 'inhuman ; for if it is possible that murder can admit ofaggravation, every cireuni stance Of this deed of horror tends to render it .most atrocious. it appears That you and a , number of trthers conspired together fOr the purpose of corn , . s tnitting a robbery itfthe house of this man, and That you armed yourselves with deadly weapons. You knew that thoughte was old, 'he was strong, and might make resistance, and though six 'of you corn , • ,bined, you carried. with you bayonets and pistols, and must have had in contemplation, if he made such resistance, to commit murder, rather than be' prevented from accomplishing your plan of robbery. I have not.in the course of any experience known a more barbarous and shocking act. You, entered the dwelling house of this than after he had gone to bed, and, while surroultded with his 'children, you attacked him with bayonets and pistols. Ile deavoured to defend himself, bat you overpowered him. Even after this,- when yoki had tied and dis abled him from making further resistance, you ton tinned to cut and mangle him till his body exhibited one continued wound. It appears so strange as hardly to be believed that human beings should per sisr in such a bloody scene s and feel no compassion, even when he was tied and rendered unfit to make farther resistance. It manifested a spirit of barba rity and inhumanity which I did not think existed in thiscountry. It is in-vain for you to exped mer cy.—ln this world you can have none.—lndeed, you. yourselves shewed no mercy—no compassion to that Unfortunate than, when, in the midst (Allis crying, helpless family, you, before the eyes of the chil dren, shed the blood ()l i the Father. You have been guilty of the primeval crime, and must meet the,pu nislitnent that was pronounced on it--r , “'whOever sheddeth man's' blood, by man shall his blood be shed."—'f llere Chambers cried bitterly; and intreat ed for mercy ! " Mercy, 0 my -Lord, have mercy, and give as long .a day as. possible."}-4n this world the gates of. inery are shut against you, and even your intreaty for mercy to lengthen your time can , . not be granted.-=lt ;s impossible.—The law pre scribes your day of punishment. Men guilty of such a barbarous, inhuman, and shocking murder, must ; speedily be sent out of this world ; and you, short as.your tithe is; it is not so short as . what you allowed that onfortunate person, whom you &jet:n ay murdered, and to - Whom you shewed no Mercy, although now so clamorous to have mercy extended to yourselves. In -the little time that remains to you, prepare to meet your God. [Chambers cried out—" . o ! for Jesus sake, for Jesus sake, mercy,, Mercy, do not send me into eternity—make of , me any thing you will, butt spare my life."). The cur tain of this . world has ! dropped upon you.—Enslea your to save your souls, your immortal part. As for your bodies, they are doomed to suffer the pu -nishment of the law: In the Midst of this accu• mulated scene of horror and of, blood, 1 feell glimpse of consolation,. that I can make a distinc+ non of one from the .other, and which I shall attend to hereafter. It is the case of Stewart, which is somewhat different in its complexion of moral guilt; though not in - point of legal criminality. By the evidence/of the witness O'Neil, and also that of Mr. son, it appeared that Stewart used his endeavours successfully, in saying the house from being burnt: • The contemplation of such an event is shocking to , human nature. What . an awftil car lamity must have followed, had that dreadful idea been carried into effeEt, and his family' of young ,thildren been, censumed.A:vith the mangled - body . ef their father. .
